Your argument is like how left-liberals claim that poor Americans vote against their own self-interest by voting for Republican. No, they aren't voting against their own interest, they are voting for it, you just don't get what that is and in your mental model that's the case.
Specifically to your argument, can you pass an ideological Turing test of representing the opinion of people who supported the hard fork? In other words, sitting behind a computer, someone has to judge whether you are a true DAO hard fork supporter or not, and will they be able to correctly identify you.
The fact is, all software is mutable. All software (including Bitcoin) can go for changes (irrespective of the nature of those changes, which could even be, "hand over the write access of bitcoin network to federal govt").
So what is decentralization then if literally any piece of software can be changed if enough number of people go for it?
